CAMP BISCO ADDS UMPH

Umphrey's McGee will be returning to the Camp Bisco stage after taking a year off. In that year, they have refined, improved, and expanded their sound with some major festivals plays such as Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza, 10k Lakes, and All Good. Their success in 2006 culminated in their amazing performance on New Year's Eve at The Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, and this summer Umphrey's McGee will be opening for The Dave Matthews Band at several large amphitheaters.

One of Britain's most unique and lively bands, The Bays will join the fray as well. Based upon hundreds of requests from the fans, the band that is "reinventing dance music" has been added.

Adam Deitch will be returning after performing on all three stages last year. This year he will be bringing the "The Storyteller" himself, Slick Rick and will also be performing a set with his own band, The Adam Deitch Project.

Today, trance-fusion rockers The Disco Biscuits announce Camp Bisco 6 - the sixth year of the band's always-anticipated annual music festival. Reputed for each year offering music's most cutting edge and experimental innovators, Camp Bisco 6 will host three nights of music and camping at the Indian Lookout Country Club in upstate New York. With their initial artist line-up Simon Posford, OTT and YOUTH as they bring their dub circus project, Hallucinogen: In Dub to the states for its first ever U.S. appearance! Also confirmed: Israeli trance band Infected Mushroom, the stretched and skewed soundscapes of Brazilian ex-pat Amon Tobin, stunning sample craftsman Girl Talk, dance-punker The Juan Maclean, STS9 (Sound Tribe Sector 9) (playing a live set one night and a PA set the other), underground heavyweight Bassnectar, a soulful DJ set by King Brit of Digable Planets fame, incognito favorites Hanging Brains, plus Zilla, EOTO, The Join (featuring Jamie Shields & Darren Shearer of The New Deal and Tom Hamilton & Clay Parnell of Brothers Past), Telepath, Psylab, Orchard Lounge, and others still to be announced.

In addition to three nights and two full days of music, Camp Bisco 6 will offer unlimited car camping, plus RV and family camping areas, daily "Color Wars" festivities which have become a signature Camp Bisco pastime, and of course plenty of food and craft vendors. Indian Lookout Country Club, located in Mariaville New York just ½ hour from Albany and 3 hours from both Boston and New York City, boasts 200 acres of serene rolling hills and natural beauty, and such amenities as flush toilets and showers. As always, Camp Bisco will work with various local officials, venue managers and The Camp Creek Organizers to ensure music fans a fun and safe weekend.

Also this year, Camp Bisco will "Go Green." Camp Bisco 6 will be powered by 100% renewable energy, thanks to sponsors Green Mountain Energy Company and Sustainable Waves.

Not-for-profit Conscious Alliance will also be on site to host a food drive. As in years past, food donations collected will go to benefit local food pantries in their effort to help feed America's hungry. Attendees are encouraged to bring 10 non-perishable food items redeemable for a limited edition Camp Bisco 6 / Conscious Alliance poster. Visit www.consciousalliance.org for more information.

We are extremely excited to announce the sixth installment of Camp Bisco, to be held on August 16 - 18, at Indian Lookout Country Club in Mariaville, NY. This year's festivities will be extended by one day, and will feature three nights of music, and two full days. For the first time in the history of Camp Bisco, the Disco Biscuits will be playing all three nights. To make this Camp Bisco a positive experience for everyone, we will be working directly with the Camp Creek crew, who have been working at ILCC for years, as well as the land owners and the ILCC staff to make this the best home for Camp Bisco for years to come.

After listening to all your concerns from last year, we sought out for a venue that would be more pleasing to you, the fans. ILCC offers almost 200 acres of beautiful, flat, privately owned land in upstate New York, only 20 miles northwest of Albany. There will not be a shortage of land and all attendees will camp next to their cars and have the use of the many great facilities the venue has to offer including flushable toilets and clean bathroom facilities as well as men's and women's showers.

We ask that you be respectful to the land and the employees that run the grounds. While the front-gate search has been known to be thorough, once inside, you are free to move about the areas without the hassles of repeated searches. There is NO glass of any kind allowed on the property, along with no weapons, fireworks, or illegal substances. If you follow these simple rules, Camp Bisco will be a wonderful experience for all. Please remember that these rules are enforced to keep all attendees safe while they are on the property.

For those who choose not to camp, there are a wide variety of hotels and lodging within 15-20 minutes of ILCC in Schenectady, NY. We will also be sectioning off a large, flat field for RV parking only. Stay tuned to www.campbisco.net and www.discobiscuits.com for more details on this as well as all other information pertaining to the event.

Simon Posford, along with DJ OTT and Youth, will be performing a live set of Hallucinogen in DUB for the first time ever in the USA and only the second time ever world-wide. This show, which will be performed on live bass, keyboards, and other instruments, will surely be one of the highlights of a great weekend! They will be performing brand new music as well as the classics from the In Dub album.

Fuck the ghetto ass ILCC and fuck the asshole bikers and fuck the 8 hour long wait to get in. 3 reasons why Vibes sucked there last year. I have a bad feeling about this...sketchy bisco fans + aggressive bikers looking for a fight = disaster

worst place to attend a festy ever. how wrong is it to see bikers stealing from kids and then turning around and selling what they confiscated? i went to one "Bad Vibes" at that hellhole and i will never get anywhere close to a something run by that bunch of criminals.

yo im noit even sure if the bikers sre goin to be there this summer but anyway i got super fucked everyday just have a wristband and dont be a drunken asshole and dont do nitrous well do nitrous just be very very sneaky

best initial lineup i could have asked for. i had a hunch infected mushroom would be making an appearance. now all we need is one more simon outfit (shpongle or younger brother) and some elemental harmonics, and booyakasha. fuck bikers.

these bikers didn't just steal peoples stuff and resell it last year. I saw them bust this older guy with acid last year and turn him right over to the police. I'm glad Vibes moves back to Bridgeport this year and they're still going to let people camp next to their rides. Bridgeport may not be the best place, but I heard they renovated the park and just about anywhere is a better place than that Nazi biker s###hole.

Except for all of the dope addicts and the uptight security, the festival was great. roots were awesom and bisco camo out smokin for the 1st set... best i have ever heard.... hope you all have a good one.... i volunteered and had to pay nothing... price was to high anyways,,,

let me give you guys a better idea of these "biker" guys. SOME of them are assholes, SOME. not all. some of them were really nice, didn't care that you had a 10strip in your pocket, etc. SOME were huge assholes that seemed to want to start shit with people.

BEFORE THIS THREAD GOES HAYWIRE on security-related festival issues, let's clear the air. The memories of FOUR years of incredible, experimental music at Bisco should not be, in any way, compromised because of last year's security concerns at Hunter Mountain. As projected by many and myself, Meatcamp Prod's stepped up and addressed fans concerns....Not only by moving it to more acreage and a better venue (which BTW, only had issues with Harley dudes one year at GOTV) but also by going out and immediately snagging Sound Tribe Sector Nine. STS9, Posford, Psylab, Juan McLean, etc....These are great livetronica/dj acts to compliment the Biscuits. HOnestly, Meatcamp has impressed me throughout the years with the way they really listen and act on the fans' feedback! A Very Well Run Festival that should only grow exponentially again this year! See y'all in upstate in august.....via johnny goff

DAMN not to bad of a line up. Bout time for some BASSNECTAR!! anyone with me??? But Zilla??? come fucking on, anything to do with the fucking gay ass string cheese accident is damn lame. But i won't hate because I must respect anything BISCO!!! oh yeah one more thing....FUCK THE STRING CHEESE ACCIDENT!!! Why wont they just fucking go away...this means you too Kang...

THOSE BIKERS ARE GREAT... This year will be my 14th year in a row at Indian Lookout Country Club and my 15th Camp Creek in a row... if you can play by their few rules.... (no glass, no dogs, no NO2, and no fires) you will have a great time... Great place... just be respectful of the rules and you will be fine!!!

ILCC is a great place despite the somewhat long waits to get in. Enjoy the music dont bring negative attention to yourselves and security wont bother you. Unfortunately thats hard for 80% of Bisco fans.

Gothood42-you are a fuckin douche bag. Just by referring to any band as the "fucking gay ass" speaks volumes of your level of intelligence. You must be about 13 years old. Have you ever seen Zilla? So what if it is one guy from SCI, they put on a good show that will go well with the other bands playing. Oh and by the way the string cheese incident owns your dumb ass.

i've been to gathering of the vibes past two year and as far the bikers go; i'd rather have bikers for security than cops any day, just don't bring in glass, no2, or video cameras, don't touch their bikes, then if you don't get in their face they won't get in yours...i also went to camp bisco last year and loved the latenite scene all day all night, the line up this year looks like headies, hopefully lightnight sets can go later than they do at vibes

p.s. thank you disco biscuits for bridging the pond by bringing europe's festival scene (psytrance djs simon posford, dj ott, infected mushroom, etc.) to our festival scene...now all you need is ozric tenticles and gong...and maybe in the future to continue briding the pond, bring the bands from camp bisco over there for a camp bisco europe

looks like youre all a bunch of phag-ass e tards who dont know good music,have fun at your gay ass efest i hope you all get arrested and ass raped in prison you homos-it sux when to enjoy your favorite band you need to take xtc

when sound tribe plays a pa set that means they're playing entirely through the Public Address system using only their macs, with all the drum machines, loops, etc. running through the computers. It's really interesting and exciting ONLY if you're into electronica, sometimes it can be a little wellllll, boring, but it takes a whole lot of talent to do some of the shit that they do. check it out if you get the chance, hopefully they've managed to make it more dance-y than that droning mind-trip aaooga that it was for a while.

PA sets are tittytastic, especially if you like electronica. As for the Zilla comments...it's not Cheese, thank god...but if you havn't heard or seen them, how the fuck can you judge them? They are raw. PERIOD. Line up looks dope, and as long as people can respect everyone else...it should be a good time.

For all the HATERS, of any kind.....A BIG FUCK YOU, you dirty cumrags. YOU ALL know who YOU are.

I can't say that i'm thrilled with the line up but the ILCC sucks ass. I probably won't go just because of that and I live in upstate ny. For anyone who is going watch out for the crazy bikers. I'll see you all at higher ground for the disco biscuits.

I really don't see the hype around Bisco or STS9. It seems as if both produce music just to feed the x-kids' desire to roll, dance and dehydrate. They don't rage like other bands do, but maybe I just ain't down with the whole trance/electronica genre. After listening to a few songs of both, I felt like their music would fit a dance club.

windorascrub--hahaha i was listening to good music before you were a sperm floating around in you dad's nuts while he listened Hall and Oates...maybe that's where you got your crappy taste in music....BISCO, Posford, STS9, Bassnectar(if you even know and understand that kind of music) will jam hyper translucent music around that gay colorado mountain "hold my hand as i walk through the valley of love" crap that comes from string cheese accident and there no talent ass clown music...To all psy-trance and Bisco fans!!! BIG UPS AND ONE LOVE!KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE BY DANCING OVER THESE CHEESE CRACKERS.....PEACE

wow, i think i just need to retire from posting. its something i do at work to kill some time, but some of you guys really need hobbies. it's great to love your bands, but talking smack about others is just weak, especially anonymously. and for the record, i agree with johnnygoff. i have been seeing bisco for 10 years and have been there done that on this whole jam scene. sure security can be too aggressive, but the bottom line is follow this formula and you won't have a problem...........come to the festival+ bring your own goodies for your head+ don't sell them= good times. take it from a vet.

oh, one more thing for pfleghaar and the others. yes it is fun to listen to bisco and others on drugs. but back in the day i also did drugs everywhere else i went, because that was what i liked to do. being older and more experienced, i still like to dabble in psychedelics, but i don't need to to have fun or for the music to sound good. the key to a good experience is letting go. for some that takes drugs, but don't go making generalizations. hope to see ya real soon at a bisco show near you. ps. PA sets don't make sense. i make beats on my computer too, but i don't go around charging people money to hear me hit play and sit back.

"...crap that comes from string cheese accident and there no talent ass clown music..."

First of all, think of your own negative comments and never quote Office Space ever again. Obviously SCI are enormous talents, as well as most of the bands we continue to bitch about on this website. My suggestion: invest your time in your English class right now.

whys everyone gota act like theyre OG. pretend you know the workings of every band and venue and shit. like ur some part of some inside scoop. il suck someones dick if theres a mass "biker" vs "sketch bisco fan" throwdown. whatever, do ur drug(s) of choice. listen to wat u like and dont worry about things you dont like. c yall there

i laughed so hard at "Gothood42"'s statements above about String Cheese. It was so far beyond ridiculous, it was incredibly funny. To him, I would say purchase DJ Harry's great remixes of String Cheese. Wierd coincidence here too bub...the drummer and percussionist from SCI --Jason Hann and Michael Travis now comprise Eoto who will be featured at Bisco! Wierd how the guys who help create the (as you put it) "hold my hand as i walk through the valley of love" crap that comes from string cheese accident and there no talent ass clown music" is performing at Bisco. People like GotHood42 should be more educated or...at the very least, do a few more google searches about festival lineups before piping off. it was still pretty funny. ha.

security at the gathering last year was excellent and very helpful, so i can't say anything negative about 'em. as for the bisco vibe, i have no desire to go back to a biscuit-run festie... very sketchy and unsafe to the weary-eyed wanderer. i'd only be scared of the security situation if i was one of those ridiculous kids tryin' to sneak tanks and bad vibes... karma happens.

detroitplayer, take that stupid gangster bullshit to some myspace board, kid. we're talkin music here. and if you can make such phat beats on YOUR computer, then you should be able to charge people to listen to it. peace

YEAH CONVERTING VEGETARIANS someone knows that infected mushroom wheres the amon tobin hype at yall ott w/hallucinogen man you guys i love all band types but man almost all the electronic music here is NOT at all your x'd out american warehouse party djs its shaman party style and there hardly ever in the states this is a real treat to us here THANK YOU BISCUITS i cannot express how much joy they had given me since the Camp Bisco in Ithica couldnt make last year though because of surgery but im damn for sure ill be there this year. Yall need to wipe all this aggression out of your perception for this open air party make it really dimensional for all of us to evolutionize.

I've always thought of bands that fit into the jam catagory these days are reminicent of all the great bands in the 70s like The Who, Zep, Floyd. They all rock and are pushing the boundaries of music, creating new and exciting music that sounds original.

Bands like the Disco Biscuits and STS9 do not do this. These "trance-jam" bands have a washed out sound that sounds EXACTLY alike. I went to a Disco Biscuits show at Starland and I couldn't tell the difference between songs, and I usually have a great ear for ID'ing songs. These bands belong in the dance clubs with the guidos and guidettes getting down with their friend X, since apparently you need to be on drugs to enjoy this type of music.

all withh be fine at this fest....BISCO has friends in high places and the Bikers are on BISCO's side and they will NOT fruck with any of the kids.... show a little love and you will be surprised how absolutely awesome a festy this will be...i'm thinking of riding up to this show since bikers are more family than you could imagine.... I'm waiting on official HIPE confirmation to absolutely come out of nowhere to blow everybodies mind!.... vrooom vroooom

First of all there is no reason to hate. String Cheese Incident has great vibes, as well as many other jam bands. GOTV was amazing! if you spread good vibe then you will get them in return. i wish GOTV was at ILCC. Camp Bisco on the other hand was sketchy as hell. i had mad shit stollen from my tent, not the festival atmosphere i was looking for. although the music was rockin, the drugs were bangin, the scene needs some work. so stop all this baseless hating on others. we all want to have a good time---keep the energy positive!

Can anyone say, Long Beach Dub Allstars? I would like to say that I believe Meatcamp has done a lot more than most production companies to satisfy their audience. What happened to the location from 2 years ago? There were no hassles anywhere, security was pretty much non existent. There wasn't even a main gate, I just walked in, I was walking up the road and next thing I knew I was at the Fest!

ok ok I'm sorry guys i was just a little upset that day, plus i wanted to see who commented back to see if people actually knew anything about the connection between bisco and cheese...anyways can't we all just get along????

please don't compare STS9 to the biscuits. I like both but they are very different. STS9 has more of an intelligent sometimes laid back vibe. I listen to STS9 to go to bed at night. and obviously they bring the funk too. They are a great addition. and I hope some of the scene kids who listen to all the same festival bands will pick up on some of these psy-trance artists that camp bisco has to offer. This lineup would be sick to see anywhere else in the world. But unfortunately the festival is probab;y going to draw the usual jamband crowd. either way, I'll be there to catch simon posford and sts9. I love the stage lights a camp bisco. Thanks to the Disco Biscuits for exposing their fans to the music that inspires them.

yea so i went to vibes last year and it was all super smooth except for the few sketch kids (prob. "bisco kids"). I loved ILCC and would go back there in a sec to see a festy...on the other hand i could never go to bisco unless they clean up the scene, i love my drvgs but for all i know when kids are dieing at camp bisco its seems a little out of control, and oo yea w/ lack of cops inside at ILCC i can see a lot more of that happening this year...kids are just too immature to handle a scene like is presented at camp bisco, either way something needs to happen

dedhed----you hippies are all the same. you're probably not even old enough to have seen jerry. im not a gangster, i don't have a myspace page, and im not your "kid", but i am from detroit so if you talk trash to me i'll tell you to come get some. and i believe i was talking music here before being insulted by some punk teenie bopper johnny come lately, unless of course you don't consider our scence to be part of our music experience.

such a clever feller, y'all sure keep it real way up thar in detroit. IF I ever make it that way I'll be sure to look you up and whoop yer ass for bein such a little tool, but i'm down here in south carolina enjoyin the sun and fun, we southern folks sure are frightened of you yankees and your fierce words. btw, i have no doubt whatsoever that you are a little punk kid, explains the reason for you having to back up your message boards by saying you'll kick ass and you're from detroit. listen eminem, take that shit on home. we hippies are sooooo all the same, we don't give a fuck about little dicks. peace douche

bisco is my favorite band--but im getting a little sick of all the e-tarded bisco kids running their mouth about any bands that arent bisco. string cheese kicks ass. lay off the ketamine.. btw zilla is fuckin awesome and this years camp is gonna be the shit

has anyone else noticed that any message boards involving the bisco kids is riddled with hatred. Detroit player i've been doing this shit for eighteen years orignally from Detroit and I learned from Jerry that the best way to deal with the ignorant, violent, and crazy portion of the jam scene is to simply ignore it. Don't lower yourself to their level. As for deadhead611 I was wondering if you could explain why the dead never frequented SC. Perhaps the ultra right wing agenda that runs rampent through your state. I think you two got off on the wrong foot. As for the rest of you jam fans what's with the constant talk about fag this or gay that. Are we still in middleschool here or have we forgotten that one major reson we all got into this scene was to be free to be ourselves. What this scene really needs is more folks with the positive vibe that jonnygoff puts out! Forget the hate,, let what you don't like go and enjoy life.ps and try it without drugs just once, you'll be how high your favorite band can get you when it's all working!

Can't wait to see infected mushroom and Hallucinogen in DubAnyone out there who likes electronic music should really check out the Eclipse Festival in Quebec this summer... some twisted records artists will be there as well. canada knows how to trance...

lildan, your positivity is refreshing. thank you. panicheat, wishing ill will on fellow music lovers is the most disappointing thing i have read on these boards. i feel sorry for you. since when did dancing and feeling good come with such unmitigated hostility? its really sad to me.

and since when did ecstasy acquire such a terrible reputation? im tired of some of you people. if i want to roll and dance my ass off to tdb and hallucinogen until 5 in the morning, who are you to judge me? and how would i be ruining your time? mind your own fucking business.

Deftone984 makes a decent point about minding your own business. I think many form an opinion or feel compelled to coment when a "few" of you roll and turn into complete A-holes by bumping into everyone else around. That is when your ecstasy experience becomes ours and annoying at that.

Wow, all you kats bent out of shape need to chill the fuck out. The whole point behind these festies are to go balls to the wall, and have a great fucking time Ragin' it "All Night Long", If your going to be a dick: Then stay at home - Don't ruin everyone else's good time, because that's what we'll be there for - If you got Nothing nice to say? Keep your mouth closed then. These are exactly the kind of people who ruin it for the rest of us, and the only ones that I hate, so check your attitude at the gate! Everyone should just be happy and haveing the time of their lives! Can't wait to see Bassnectar for the first time, and find out what Umph's going to do under the name Hanging Brains!

LONG BEACH DUB ALLSTARS, does anyone else feel me, if you don't know what I am talking about maybe you should find out. As for all the hating, there is no way anyone should talk "shit" about any band that is part of our scene. None of then "lack talent" or "are gay" (they could possibly be gay but not in the way intended). We are part of the best music scene that has ever been in my and so many other peoples opinions, for a band to be a part of it enough to get someone to bitch about them means they must have an unbelievable amount of talent. If you don't agree then why be part of our movement. SCI may not be my cup of tea, but I'll be damned if they aren't some talented mother F#!@ERS!!

I agree with phishr82- I will be doing tribe on the rocks for sure in September. Last year was a blast and can't wait for this years shows. I'll pass on this festival though, but can't wait for RE:Generation @ Deerfields, NC. STS9 is where it's at brothers and sisters.Peace

To that string cheese sucks, no they dont debate ragin, yeah phish_420 just put it pretty well. I personally love String Cheese, I could see how someone might get bored with them if they're looking for something novel or edgy or "trippin-friggin-skittles-raining-from-the-sky-my-shoulder-muscles-evaporated" maaaaaaaaaaaan sound in their music, which I have to admit I also dig and I also have to admit String Cheese doesn't bring tooo much of, but they definately have some funky ass jams (galactic, ms. brown's) and if you don't dig their music personally than that's fine, don't listen to it, trying to argue that they're not talented musicians is a pretty uphill argument I'd say, I'm pretty sure either Travis, Kang, or Kyle could all stand lone as evidence that SCI are very good musicians. I also happen to love many many songs written by them, if you don't again, that's fine, that's pretty subjective I think, no use arguing and putting other people down over it.

also, zilla's a much different band, very trancy, I would say you might want to check em out if you dig bisco, infected mushroom, etc. and dont just overlook them because theyre drummer happens to play in a band you dont like very much

WORST VENUE EVER.... get ready 4 the shakedown bikers who unpack ya car on side of road then throw the shit back in anyway they want.. friend had to go back and look for his tent poles that were thrown to the side.... get ready for a loooooooong wait to get in.......

Man there is way too much shit talking on this thread, I personally like all the bands that people are talking shit about to a certain degree. I don't like people saying that Bisco kids bring antimosity to these threads though, there seems to be hate in all these jambase threads. Bisco Rules.

I think Bisco is a good band but this thread is a perfect example of why everyone thinks bisco fans are out of control. this is a message board how about everyone just chills out. if you dont want to go to camp bisco then dont post here.

This message board is not that different than any other message board on Jambase. I guarantee that there is a distinct correlation between the age and hate spewed on this entire website. Too much ego and testosterone for some of the pups to handle.

I'm blown away by how these bands have been so "internalized" by Jambase posters. If half of these artists wrapped a turd in a bow and sold it on MusicToday, many would buy it and defend their affinity for hit to the end.

Wow, I cant do much but shakie my head and wonder what has happened. We are supposed to be the peaceful ones? Have some of us forgotten that this whole thing is about MUSIC!!!!! Guys! It's not about the drugs, or ragin, or rollin or whatever. Its about the music. Go here if you like the music and don't if ya don't. This scene needs help. It's getting sad. :(

yea indian lookout does have a lot of bikers around messing with people, just stay away from em and you will be fine..... This is not a diss but an obervation so please dont blast me people... but it seems like biscuits fans and whenever bisco does multi billed shows they dont stray from their own type of music or d.j's and the like. It seems like its all kinda in the same vein. Whereas and I dont even really like moe all that much(please dont yell at me I do respect them) will have alot more clectic acts at their summer camp..... you guys dig?

I agree, Re:generation is where it is going to be at this summer! I have been to deerfields before (harmonic convergence) and it is an AMAZING venue. Nicest place to see a concert ever, it canged my whole view on sh#t. But.... I move to Boulder in 2 weeks so it can't happen this year, I will catch everyone for 2 nights at redrocks though.Peace, Love, Unity, Respect,Chris

just so you know, when you're talking initial search here, it's not what you think. these guys are bikers LOOKING specifically to steal your contraband. they will make you take EVERYTHING out of your car, look in the wheel wells, under the spare tire, put their DIRTY hands in every bag of clothing, backpack, guitar case WHATEVER you have, they will go through it. as of last year, this thieving process takes about TEN HOURS, and thats just from the point you actually enter their property so be prepared. personally, I'd rather have security who are paid by the promoter to do just a basic search for tanks and shit and who also want to get all the people in as per the promoters request. these guys don't care if you miss the first day of music waiting to get in. Yeah, it's an awesome place to have a festy, but nobody can sell any glass, eepecially the large vendors, and the horrendous LONG, LONG search/stealing party just totally makes it not worth it. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED!

oh yeah, I forgot. After last years vibes ten hour get in, I was a leetle beet irritated. so I thought up this funny prank that I know SOME of you hard core bisco kids are crazy enough and fed up enough to pull off!See, because they WILL put their dirty hands in and feel around in EVERY one of your bags...if you have an old smallish sports or duffle bag that you don't want anymore, simply fill it up with the most horrendous concoction you can think of to touch (shit, vomit...you know). Then when they stick their hands in and pull them out covered in shit...you can look at them and say "dude, that's my bag of shit. Who told you to put your hand in my bag of shit?"! ha-ha...stupid bikers...trips are for kids!

Upstate NY sucks b/c trey says so . . . Right - try thinking for yourself! Maybe the 'Almighty Trey' shouldn't be driving around upstate ny doped up thinking he is exempt from 'the law' b/c of who he is!

Actually hale I do not called me getting 7 misdomeanor charges brought against me in upstate new york an act of trey. I call it an act of conservative yuppie politics I was thinking for myslef didn't you read the part about personal experience. BE CAREFUL PPL

IMO, i think that people who don't like the "trance-jam" bands, automatically say that its just for the Xers, which is completely bogus. Music is evolving and bands are using new technology to create a different sound. Face it everyone, music is getting away from the basic sound that it started as, and is moving towards being more and more electronically advanced... this doesn't mean that its only for Xed out people. Stop dissing a certain type of music because of the stereotype that it may bring, not everyone who enjoys DB rages on E, just like not everyone who enjoys the dead rages on L.

Who cares which band is better than the other, or if kids wanna rage on E all night long. Its all opinion oriented, and trying to argue which band is better than the other, or which drug is cooler than the next, is like argueing Liberals vs. Conservatives, no one is ever going to win, and its just going to cause fights. The scene is going to die out if we dont all just drop this middle school bull$hit. PEACE LOVE RESPECT

I am bringing an extra jar of ecstasy just for the bikers. Maybe then they will leave me alone. I will also bring a squirt gun filled with L and squirt it all over these damn Hells Angels as I drive in. They will fry harder than bacon!

NWILSO: Do you think that "the man" is going to sift thru all of the crap that is spewed between fans of Jambands to find possible drug users? Have you ever met "big brother"? If so, you'd know that they are probably scouring the supermarket isle for this String Cheese Incident tht people speak of or where someone is housing this "Rat Dog" that tours the country.

I assume from the useful info on this thread that GOTV is probably not a good place to bring my 2 year old this year. If anyone can suggest a fest near NYC or Philly that won't get me robbed or waiting in line for 10 hours I welcome your suggestions and the ensuing arguments.

IM GOING TO CALL IT RIGHT NOW. HANGING BRAINS = JAKE CINNINGER SIDE PROJECT. I KNOW THIS BECAUSE IM FROM CHICAGO AND ITS THE BEST FUCKING CITY IN THE WORLD. I ALSO KNOW THIS BECAUSE PROG ROCK IS THE SHIT AND JAKE = PROG GOD!!

boknows hire a baby sitter or don't come these are adult things your 2 yr old has no place there. I hate seeing kids at shows when they should be watching ninja turtles or in bed. Sorry bro..... wait till they are a little older and play them hendrix on the way to school. Sorry man but shows and particularly festies are no place for kids. HAH what a business idea... going to a festie leave your kids with us for a few days...... hmmmmmm

the 1st time I saw the dbs was at the bisco #2 in Morrisville pa, the show featured dr Didge,UV ray,et all plus all kinds of dnb-a la liquid sky lable{Soul Slinger, pish posh,and del Mar, reid speid, dj odi}I was there for the dnb.the hillside filled for the biscits and then cleared after. I was amazed how quick that feild filed for the Biskits then cleared for the Djs.there were like twenty heads there for the djs,tops.I went to the 3rd Bisco above scranton pa and caught Alex peterson From the ORB and other great bands and djs. then I traveled to the van etten camp out and the highlight were vibes, the people and the New deal.the point is the D.B's have their heart in the right place, TURNING AROUND HEADS!so please embrace eachothers differences and we will all in our own ways RAGE TOGETHER AS ONE, YOU FUCKERS. see you at Starscape then Bisco 6. peaceloveunityrespect to all.

last year at the vibes... i didnt have any trouble with the bikers.... if theyfind liek a scale or any kind of drug shit in your car, they will tear it apart before you go in, so be careful with that... as long as you dont have a dog, act like a idiot, and dont do damage, itll be fine... also, the long wait to get in is fine, its just a party where everyone meets each other and a lot of festivals have a pretty long wait.. i wont be there because bisco isnt my deal, but looks alright.

weir^ some of the best vibes are in the overload field waiting line! This is gonna be some fun shit. Lots of room to scamper and covort at ILCC. Dont forget your kites. I really like how not everyone 'gets' these guys, makes it better///

yeah man... i mean, its just a bunch of friendly people getting to know eachother and starting teh weekend early. i personally am not a fan of the biscuits but im sure if thats your cup of tea, itll be a blast!! illc is a beautiful place for a festival too, soo much land to do anything, make sure you guys check out the water while your there...(if you havent been)

i hope the hells angels fuck up all you gay ass wookies,and annally rape your mama's those dirty bikers probably smell like roses compared to all you dirty sts9 and bisco phags have fun,and dont forget your glitter and dildos-homos

i dont understand why good comments get negative remarks???... like the ones that deserve bad reviews are fine but even good get them and they're kinda pointless now because every just gets pissed at each other for some reasona and it like, "man, im gonna show this kid... and giev them a thumbs down." stupid stuff guys..

sold for me with the add of some umph for sure. the surrounding environment is key to a righteous show from the umph boys, and the breathtaking upstate NY is no exception. cant wait for this freakin fest

Very lame....umphreys is the last band I would see here. Thats just my opinion though, don't freak out if you like Umphreys, I respect your opinion if you like them. I saw them 5 times on the BSC in 2005 and at 10k and they did not impress me. Thats all. Peace

Peeps this looks like it could possibly be the best Camp Bisco ever. With STS9, UM, Dietch, Posford, Zilla, and all the other great DJ acts plus three nights of the Disco Biscuits. Looks insane in my opinon. Lets let go of the negativity about not liking this band or wanting this bvand to be there. As far as th sacurity it cant any worse then having a New York State Trooper pat you down every time you enter the festival grounds. Be smart, be courteous, and obey the rules. Then whats the problem. Some of the best people I have ever met in my life were bikers.

this is so weird... I was under the assumption that music was meant to be listened/danced to. It seems here that the only point of music is to give people a chance to write ridiculous arguments and attack peoples opinions.

the sites motto is "GO SEE LIVE MUSIC". it's not "GO SHOW PEOPLE HOW IGNORANT YOU ARE ONLINE." Get over yourselves and find something better to do! Love the music!

Alright, I'm not saying anything about the quality of music when it comes to either of these bands. Everyone is entitled to their own musical tastes/opinions. Just wanted to throw this out there though. Does anyone else feel that this whole Bisco/UM man-crush is getting a little old? C'mon, make some new friends in the scene.

"No problems, but I'm just saying that what I wrote was a respectable opinion. At least I didn't tell everybody how I really feel about them."Isn't that what an opinion is? I don't understand why people wanna bash what we have. For all we know, all of our favorite bands will be on hiatus by the end of the year. Then what would all you haters do? Move to europe so you an loathe in pathetic electronica made from a macbook? -"It is a sin to pose and it is a sin to make pussy music."-Dean Ween

Funny that half the bands on the Bill are named from controlled substance references. To all those that complain about security and arrests at shows, take a step back and look at the environment that your putting yourself into. The rest of the world is not oblivious to what goes on. If you get busted at this fest w/ illegal drugs and go to jail then you totally deserve it. Keep it on the DL people.

this festivel seems awesome i love all the jams, i really hate to say this but bisco fans always do give me a hard time, i guess i dont really "fit in" as they tell me. Not in to the hard drugs just like to smoke a lil herb throw back some beers and dance my balls off. Might see some of u guys there!

this music sucks, that music rules. i don't care anymore. however, if you DO care about this type of music (quite kick ass in my ever-humbled opinion) check out the fucking JOIN while you are there. New Deal + Brothers Past = absolute musical ecstasy (whether you take the pill or not) derp

well then willm1 go to an umphrees festy! casue sts9 and bisco are gunna blow umphreyys away at camp this year!im down with grateful dread bisco needs to gets some new friends and get away from these D.U.M.B shit, its gettin way to old. im just hopein theres re-entry at the d.u.m.b shows so i can go rage the parking lot while umphreys thorws there death metal party!

jakecinningerisgod, I sort of agree with you. ive been a bisco fan long before UM (started seeing bisco back at thier first fillmore west show back in 01 and been sweatin em hard ever since) but despite being a huge fan, I dont really fit in to the bisco scene myself. Overall they are ok with me, but bisco fans do tend to be a lot more, for lack of a better word, "edgier" than um fans. I think um and moe have the chillest, freindliest, most laid back fans on the scene. although to have a band that plays dark angry uterly insane jams like bisco, i guess it makes sense that fans are equally irreverent

Not my tastes in music at all (STS9 used to be ok - I caught them at Langerado and wasn't impressed), but it sounds like a good excuse to go completely out of your mind for awhile. Y'all be careful. No one thinks you HAVE to take all those chemicals at once. It's all in your head.

Judging by the content and conventions of the comments, if you can call them that, on this thread, many of you are clearly uninformed about music in general as well as pathologically negative. I don't know what your short comings are that lead you to hate the world even at its most hedonistic, but please, if you can't say something nice, then...

Additionally, the outlandish comments about electronic music on this thread are pathetic. Listen up. Watch your idol Pink Floyd's Live @ Pompeii. Rodger Waters, I believe it is, lectures the interviewer when he asks a question that is right in line with ya'll's assessments of what musicians can do with new technology. Whoever has listened to and enjoyed the art of music, dance, and pleasure knows what I mean. They also have already seen the aforementioned video.

BTW, anyone who says Pink Floyd isn't a significant musical force and pioneer in this genre of music only confirms his or her stupidity.

For those of you who find yourselves posting as a way of catharsis, look up the pranaam in the dictionary and go sit beside the river, mountain, or whatever natural phenomena are near you and breathe.

i just seen bisco on friday in baltimore.... i think everybody there was smiling and having a great time... the sound system was muddy but the energy was incredible.... who cares if you are not into bisco... there are plenty of people who are....lol

why do Disco Biscuits fans think they're hardcore? it's happy music, deal with it. Honestly? I have listened to the band for 5 years now and it never ceases to amaze. anyways, i thought the great part of all these bands was not having a dumb rap, punk, or metal hardcore attitude. How did this rich white boy attitude develop out of upbeat house jams? can't wait for camp bisco. gonna bring my JP-8000 and get magner to give me some of his patches!

A hearty welcome from one of the staff. Please don't believe all the unfounded rumors about the eeeeeeevil bikers. Most of the bad vibes are generated by hard core dealers who were ejected from the property after repeated warnings. 99% of the people who come to events here, have a great hassle-free time on 300 acres of campground off limits to the public eye.

Again, this is not an official communication (an official greeting will be forthcoming), just me. Feel free to ask me any questions.

Hard to say. It depends on the size of the crowd. Camp Creek was a snap this year. 15 minutes average.

Since this is a new group for us, we'll have out staff maxed out. A lot depends on how many show up early since the gates won't open till noon. In the initial rush, the ones at the end of the line could take a couple of hours. The ones in front...much quicker.

If you want to see it all.....the earlier the better. You can park in the holding field and party till the gates open.
